Christopher L. Brinkley

Christopher L. Brinkley has called Oklahoma home for nearly his entire life. At an early age, Chris had aspirations of becoming an astronaut. Those dreams fell short though, when he got his first pair of glasses, forcing him to realize he would likely never fly in space.

However, his passion for the industry eventually led to him getting an undergraduate degree in aerospace engineering. Chris then returned to school at the University of Tulsa College of Law where he was a member of the Phi Delta Phi legal honors fraternity and graduated with a Juris Doctor in 1994.

He has utilized his engineering degree since his first legal job in which he prepared lawyers to depose engineers. For the last 21 years, Chris has focused his practice on product liability and other areas of personal injury including work place injuries.

Chris takes great pride in providing quality and sympathetic representation for each and every one of his clients. Chris is an avid owner of a Saturn Sky roadster and was the chief organizer of the 11th North American Solstice Sky Annual Meet (NASSAM) which was held in June 2016.

Chris is also a competitive racquetball player and wonderful husband to his wife, Karen Brinkley. The two share a passion for many types of dance, are devoted benefactors to a number of ballet companies and dancers, and have even danced several times in the Charleston Ballet’s performance of The Nutcracker.
